Common use of APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION Clause in Contracts

APPRENTICESHIP UTILIZATION. The Parties agree to set an aspirational State Apprenticeship Council (SAC) Apprenticeship Utilization Goal of fifteen percent (15%) per craft. The aspirational goal established for minority apprentice training is twenty-one percent (21%) of the total apprentice training hours. The aspirational goal established for female apprentice training is twelve percent (12%) of the total apprentice training hours. The Prime Contractor will be responsible for all Contractors and Sub- contractors of whatever tier shall submit an Apprenticeship Utilization Plan at their pre-job conference and all Contractors shall submit weekly certified payrolls identifying all SAC registered apprentices. The Parties agree to encourage appropriate use of apprentices, including Washington State Apprenticeship Training Council [WSATC] apprentices on the Project and to facilitate the participation of people of color, women and other disadvantaged persons in such apprenticeship programs, and increase the opportunities for participation by low-income people of color and women. The Parties should identify aspirational training and hiring goals and reduce barriers to employment and training. To the extent any costs associated with the use of apprentices on the Project are not appropriate for reimbursement by the FAA under the AIP, the Port will use certified payrolls to determine the difference in wages and deduct the amount from the invoice submitted for AIP reimbursement.
